arrow.gifWalk-Behind/Wheeled Blowers: These are a step up from a backpack blower. They are made for the property owner or lawn care worker who needs to clear a lot of area or thick leaves fast. They come in self-propell or push options. On most you can adjust the up/down direction of the nozzle. A brand that makes these is Billy Goat.

There are also shred 'n vacs which vacuum up and shred the debris, minimizing the amount. Echo makes these. But if you are considering buying one or converting an Echo PB-255LN into one read post #7 in this thread: http://www.lawnmowerforum.com/echo-f...red-n-vac.html.

Re: Types of Leaf Blowers

I already have three Stihl backpack blowers, Just thought I'd give an Echo a try. I see lots of companies using Echo backpack blowers 'round here.

I have three Echo string trimmers, they are very dependable and long lasting. Never had an Echo backpack before, I hear they're just as good as Stihl.

But to me, Stihl will always be #1!

If your looking for an all around blower I think th Stihl BR 600 is probably the best all around Back Pack you can get and it's the cheapest to run of all the so called big gun blowers. It's going to do everything well. I hang two of them on the trailer along with the BR 200.
